Determinants of crop diversity and composition in Enset-coffee agroforestry homegardens of Southern Ethiopia

open access: yesJournal of Agriculture and Rural Development in the Tropics and Subtropics, 2013
Households in much of the tropics depend for their livelihoods on the variety and continued production of food and other products that are provided by their own farms.

Structural and biochemical insights into the thermostable esterase Ta0887 from Thermoplasma acidophilum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In this study, a novel esterase from the thermoacidophilic archaeon Thermoplasma acidophilum was biochemically and structurally characterized. Our results demonstrate that Ta0887 is a highly thermostable esterase that preferentially hydrolyzes p‐nitrophenyl hexanoate and possesses an α‐helical cap domain that likely contributes to its substrate ...

A 14-3-3 modulator of seed weight and quality for unlocking the yield potential of soybean

open access: yesNature Communications
Seed weight is a key component of crop yield. However, molecular mechanisms underlying soybean seed weight variation remain largely elusive. Here, we identify a major seed weight determining gene Glycine max SMALL SEED 6 (GmSMS6) that encodes a 14-3-3 ...

A minimal cellulosome‐like system in Cellulosilyticum lentocellum

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Cellulose‐degrading bacteria typically use cellulosomes, large multi‐enzyme complexes on a scaffold protein. In Cellulosilyticum lentocellum, we characterise a far smaller arrangement, a single scaffold bound to one cellulase through a single cohesin‐dockerin interaction.

The C‐terminal truncated splicing variant of NK1R negatively modulates substance P‐stimulated NK1R signaling

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
The neurokinin 1 receptor exists as full‐length (NK1L) and C‐terminally truncated (NK1S) splice variants. We show that NK1S heterodimerizes with NK1L, impairing Gαq coupling and Ca2+ mobilization while enhancing β‐arrestin1 recruitment. NK1S suppresses substance P‐driven gene expression and cell migration, revealing NK1S as an endogenous biased ...

Local seed systems and village-level determinants of millet crop diversity in marginal environments of India: [PDF]

open access: yes
"In the subsistence-oriented, semi-arid production systems of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka, India, the environment is marginal for crop growth and often there is no substitute for millet crops.
